So, when we think of the idea that “by nature of being a story” something can’t be clear are there things outside of this that might be? It’s the whole “everything’s a story so nothing is ‘clear’ or everything is ‘clear'” right? Also -‘bitter taste of nihilism’=nice 🙂

I think my point was about how maybe part of the definition of “story” is that you can interpret it on different levels and see new things and that if that isn’t true about a piece of writing, it isn’t a story. Maybe.

I admire the way you interweave so many ideas about stories. As a therapist I find the best way to begin getting to know my patient is by saying: “Tell me your story”. All the questions you raise are fascinating. I was once at a seminar where we each were asked to go around the room and tell each other individual the mainline story we had built about our life. After telling it 25 times, most of us were sick of our own story!
